not supposed to destroy. If it astonishes

A DANGEROUS PRAIRIE GROWTH

The Carious Plant Known - the ..Tuu.-
BILE Weed''.A Great Men,ee.
W. +. Niederlander, a prominent resi-
estate man, has on exhibition in the win
dow Of his efiice fine specimen Of the
curious plant known as the ..tumble
weed" This specimen was taken from
the old fair grounds last year after the
grounds were abandoned. The plant is
4 mass OF branches, spherical in form,
and 50 tightly interviewer Is to form al
most compact mass. Like the earth,
this globulous mass Of branches is flat
tened at the poles-or more 50. The pres
ent specimen is about five feet at its
greatest diameter. Mr.. Niederlander saws
he has seen specimens fully twice the size.
The weed once grew plentifully through
this country and Colorado. When green
they present a very pretty appearance,
and look more like dwarf tree than a
weed. They are very dangerous in case
Of prairie fire, and often dangerous in
plain wind storms when there is no fire.
In case OF fire the flames seem to strip
the plant Of its leaves, and it at once goes
rolling before the flaming hurricane a
perfect wheel of fire. These revolving
wheels Of fire will jump any ordinary
furruw or fire break and carry the fire
into the timber or grass, as the case may
be. Nothing can stop their progress but
. river. Into these they jump. leaping
out into the stream forty. fifty Or sixty
feet, and go down with a hiss, throwing
up column Of steam where they sink.
Il have seen hundreds of these plants
IN Barber county and the Siquashie val
ley, said Mr.. Niederlander. when
started to rolling in fire no ordinary
horse can run before them. Once, in the
Siquashie valley. only saved myself BY
driving my team into the river, which /
fortunately reached just in time
In Colorado wind storms these weeds
are also source Of much danger. In
Middle park few years ago q party of
travellers were suddenly ,overtaken by
storm. Seeing what they supposed 10 be
O snass Of huge lowlders in the distance
they made for them, thinking they would
afford at least partial shelter. To their
surprise. as they approached. the bowl
dcrs suddenly broke loose and commenced
rolling toward them at furious rate,
cutting all sorts of curious capers and gy-
rating menscingly as they came. At
times they would strike an obstruction and
hound high in the air, and again striking
the ground resume their rapid. circular
.noton. The travellers put spurs to their
horses. and it was only by the greatest
effort that they managed to escape from |
tire track of these monsters, On exami- |
nation they found their supposed bowl
lers were really immense weeds which |
lad been tom up by the roots by the
wind storm.
These weeds are SO solid that they are |
. great menace to man and beast under |
nch circumstances. Impelled by heavy
~ind. they would go with force enough
70 kill horse. and . human being is in
great danger il he cannot get out Of the
rack Of these monsters when they are
running before q hurricane or in case Of |
} prairie fire.-Wchita Journal.
